Live chat: Shoot the breeze with Pete, aka The Food Dude

Tim Farrell/The Star-LedgerNew Jersey food authority Pete Genovese, aka The Food Dude, will be launching a live blog Wednesday, May 30, here on NJ.com, starting at 12:30 p.m. Let us know what's on your mind when it comes to food in Jersey.

No other state is as diverse, food-wise, as New Jersey, and talking about food is what we do best. Now you can live-chat with the guy who knows the state — and its food — better than anyone.

Pete Genovese, feature writer for The Star-Ledger, has headed up the paper's popular Munchmobile series since 1999. And when the Big Dog is not prowling the Garden State, he writes a weekly restaurant review column called Eat with Pete.

The Trenton native is the author of 10 books, including "Jersey Diners,'' "The Food Lover's Guide to New Jersey,'' "Jersey Eats''' and "A Slice of Jersey.''

Join Pete in this live chat below, starting today at 12:30 p.m. You can post a comment in the comment box or send an e-mail to the address on the Cover It Live screen.
